Well I have made it through another round of mayhem and madness while we get our Visa's for China and work on Jordan's Immigration paperwork.. the infamous I-800, and get our Travel documentation for CCAI. We have received confirmation that USCIS received our paperwork (I-800) but are still awaiting their approval. At the same time we are still waiting for China's Notice to travel. Our Visa applications should be submitted to the Chicago's Chinese Consulate tomorrow, however we will have to wait an additional week due to a Chinese National Holiday. I was curious as to what was the holiday and it turns out that October 1st is National Day of the Peoples Republic of China. I read that there is a lot of travel domestically and internationally during the time around this holiday and it is not advisable to travel to China at this time. I still have a feeling like October is our month but since they are insistent that November and even December is more likely we have been making plans for October like business as usual.
I am getting more anxious about getting ready for our China trip and for Jordan's arrival. We have sent our first care package to the Yuoyang Orphanage which includes our Letter of Acceptance and a photo album for Jordan to see his new family! It also included toys, candy, and other fun things for him. It is very exciting to think that he will know of us soon. We have no idea when he will receive it from Customs. Hopefully it will be soon so he will know that his "Forever Family" is waiting from him. We are so lucky to have to wonderful opportunity bestowed on us. I am going to try to send a package a week to him so he knows we are thinking of him. I have had so much fun thinking of things for him. I hope he enjoys them.
